You can use case / when to do this... depending on your db platform.
select col1, col2, newcoltoAdd =
CASE
WHEN col1 < col2 THEN 'higher'
WHEN col1 = col2 THEN 'Equal'
WHEN col1 > col2 THEN 'lower
END
FROM myTable.

Subject: SQL
I have 2 integer columns, each has 3 digit numbers from 111 to 555.
I need to compare the 2 columns and in a third column display some kind of
an indication whether the second column number is higher or lower then the
first column number, saying higher, lower or equal.
For example:
column1 column 2 newcolumnToAdd
125 545 higher
255 255 equal
555 222 lower
254 444 higher etc
Please advise on how to do this in SQL.
Thanks.
